So, we’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is: completed series I wish had more books.
I wasn’t feeling this week’s topic because I really can’t recall any series that I wish had more books. Even if I’m sad to leave a certain world or characters at the end of a series, I’m generally pretty satisfied with how the story ends (at least, as far as I can recall) so this topic really didn’t speak to me. Instead, I decided to go for an easier topic and shine a spotlight on ten new-to-me authors that I’ve discovered in 2022 (so far). All of these books have been 4.5 or 5 star reads for me and some I really can’t stop talking about or recommending. Some of these books and authors have definitely become new favourites and I can’t wait to read more from them ASAP! On that note, let’s get to it…






Travis Baldree – Legends and Lattes
Cara Bastone – Seatmate
Axie Oh – The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
Silvia Moreno-Garcia – Gods of Jade and Shadow
Sophie Irwin – A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting






John Gwynne – Malice
Tia Williams – Seven Days in June
Gina Chen – Violet Made of Thorns
Rivers Solomon – The Deep
Tasha Suri – The Jasmine Throne

What new-to-you authors have you loved discovering this year? What favourites would you recommend to everyone to try?

Love this post Dini! I’ve been a fan of Tasha Suri & Silvia Moreno-Garcia for a few years now, but also found, and loved, Axie Oh this year. The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea was so beautifully written & I can’t wait to see what she writes next.

Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.

I discovered John Gwynne last year with his Of Blood and Bone series, but oh my gosh, his writing is brilliant, isn’t it? I still need to catch up on his books, but he’s got so many and they’re such chonkers that I keep falling behind. xD I really need to read something by Silvia Moreno-Garcia still, since I’ve heard such amazing things about her work!

Glad to see that you discovered Axie Oh! I loved her debut sci-fi series and I’m hoping to read her other books as well – The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea sounds amazing 🥰 I’ve also heard good things about Legend and Lattes 😊
